October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Bosco del Merlo (Casa Paladin), a family winery in Veneto, has run its Life in Rosé breast cancer awareness project since 2018. Swirl brings the Japan chapter to Trattoria Civi in Shirokanedai for one night only.

What is Life in Rosé?

Bosco del Merlo is run by the third generation of the Paladin family, sisters Francesca and Martina. In 2018 they began setting aside a share of the proceeds from their Prosecco Rosé and Pinot Grigio Rosé every year for breast cancer prevention and awareness. In Italy the project works alongside LILT (the Italian League for the Fight Against Cancer) and its Pink Ribbon campaign, with sports events, free health check-ups, and prevention talks with doctors and nutritionists. By 2024 it had given 35,000 euros to cancer research.

The idea has never been "drink to support a cause." It is about using the dinner table as a place to think about prevention and wellbeing. This evening brings exactly that approach to Tokyo.
